The Report of the Professions Joint Working Party (1978) raises a number of questions. The first of these springs from the composition of the Working Party. Five of the organizations are overtly in business to train and certify practitioners of psychotherapy along psychodynamic lines, but though the Report speaks collectively of ‘seven organizations representing practitioners of psychotherapy’ neither the British Association for Behaviour Psychotherapy nor the Royal College of Psychiatrists can be categorized in the same way. Each of these organizations raises issues of a different order.
